The concrete dam is composed of a 100-foot (30 m) permanent crest and two 32-foot (9.8 m) wide tainter gates.

The powerhouse is a single-story structure composed of rock faced limestone that was laid in a random ashlar pattern.

The Mitchell County Conservation Board acquired the dam, powerhouse, and the adjacent land, which it turned into a public park in 1963.
